be seen on the dark soils near the Sacra-
mento, on the brown soils near the foot
hills, on the clay loans of the foothills.
and in the higher mountain valleys The
clay-loam belt is from 10 10 Is miles wide
and 60 miles in length, thus comprising
many thousands Of acres. The soil is the
same as in the far-famed Vaca district, the
valleys have the same perfect shelter, and
the exposure is the same. There have
been numbers of horticultural experiments
made there, and the success has been all
that could have been desired. The tree
and vine growths are remarkably large and
healthy, and the quantity and quality of
fruit produced will compare favofably with
that OF
THE BEST FRUIT REGIONS OF THE COAST.
Mrs. Parkill, of "Sefer" Valley, has a
young orchard of % acres that produces
all kinds of fruit and the production is
remarkable. No finer peaches, pears,
plums, prunes. aprieots or figs were ever
grown than this orchard produces North
and south of this valley are many shell
tered places, with sloping foothills around
them, admirably adapted to fruit and
vines. All the ranch-men living in these
valleys have family orchards, which pre-
sent indisputable proof that the horti-
culturist
WILL REAP A RICH REWARD
If he locates here. In this belt tributary
to Willows are Murdoch, Setter, Clark.
Durham, Nye, McWilliams, Brown and
Robertson valleys. All these wall be as
famous for early and fine fruit as Vaca and
Peasants valleys now are. In the Stony
| creek basin there are tens of thousands of
acres of the best fruit land. This valley
has the soil and shelter for early and fine
fruit.

Is the land of orchards and vineyards
| CITRUS FRUITS
There are some fine orange and lemon
trees growing in this section. They are
found along the Sacramento, ON the plains,
and in the foothills; in fact, they seem to
flourish on all these soils, and on all kinds
of exposure. There is no place where bet
ter figs, prunes and raisins are raised than
here. 1t is also the home of the olive and
all kinds of nutbearing trees. There is
no finer location for those engaging in any
branch of horticulture than in this section.
